Trust and Safety

Trust and Safety

Sharing a home is a real decision. 


We treat it that way.

SECURITY TIPS

ID verification is included free on every paid plan. 


When you see the "ID Verified" badge on a profile, that person has confirmed their identity with us.

You control your information.


Phone, address, and full name stay private until you choose to share them.

Meet in person before committing


Bring a friend or family member along if it helps you feel more comfortable. Anyone who pressures you to skip that step, or asks for money before meeting, is not someone you want to live with.

Trust the basics.


Walk through the actual home. Ask about the lease, who's on it, and what's included in writing. Trust your instincts, and make sure it lines up with what was in the listing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ID verification work?

ID verification is free with any paid plan. You upload a government-issued ID through our secure verification partner, and once it's confirmed, an "ID Verified" badge appears on your profile. It's one of the simplest signals to look for when you're choosing who to message.

What if it doesn't work out?

That's why a written roommate agreement matters. Discuss notice periods, deposit return, and how you'll handle changes before moving in. Both parties should agree, in writing, on what happens if either of you needs to move out.
